It’s been five years since dexter in the newsagent started releasing her buttery-soft acoustic reveries cut from the core of quarantine. Those evocative guitar chords and her saccharine cadence remain an unforgettable facet of her catalog and a defining feature of her music. Her latest single, “With u,” takes that original dexter spirit and elevates it with striking synths, polished production, and visceral vocals that strike a nerve in each listener.

It grapples with our fears of burning out on a person conflicting with our deep desires to always be by their side. “With u” captures the buzz of feeling understood and dexter’s craving to sink her teeth into that emotional high 24/7.
“With u” hits the ear and fills your head with a soft glow over diluted notes of piano, warm guitars, and effervescent synths. The lyrics are heartfelt and intimate, recounting dexter’s patience in waiting for the right person to find her and the urge to not waste another moment once that person comes along. It’s a turning point for her as an artist as the base of the song relies on her gripping chord progressions and iconic vocals while blending in new techniques to make them shine. “With u” is a love story for a generation that inspires us to never stop searching for someone who sees us as we are.
